Crazy Airplane Landing Captured On Video

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Seems like a guy who is in complete control of his airplane and knows the capabilities of his craft.

And with skydivers, the pilot knows to get the heck out of the area as quickly as possible. Which is what he did.

I'm sure that's what most pilots say if they could talk after the crash. Bottom line, the airplane is not approved for those maneuvers and therefore is not legal. If you wouldn't do it with an FAA examiner on board, then you shouldn't do it period. This happens each and every day when hauling jumpers so most people just deal with it. But it only takes one mistake.

1) Aircraft was operated in Brazil - US regs don't apply

2) > airplane is not approved for those maneuvers
Airplane appeared to be operated at a positive 1G load. Not stressful at all

Although that decreasing radius turn at the end looks a little exciting...
